Saturday didn't happen. Clubber Lang was fiction. That Blues rookie was nothing but a nightmare, but holy hell that kid is good. Enough about that. Didn't happen.
You know what did happen for real and no BS?
"Nine Tonight" was recorded in 1980 and it's unreal. Know the best part? I know you do so don't sit there like Potsie Frigging Weber trying to pretend you're oblivious when we all know you've been paying attention all these years.
"Just like southern Michigan summer time." That line is just so Seger. And Seger is so Michigan because he's never forgotten his roots. He belts that line out and the Cobo crowd goes nuts.
But wait...here's the best part. It wasn't Cobo...it was Boston. He changed that line and tailored it to us...in Boston. He didn't go all Dave Matthews on us and say it was just like "eastern Nantucket summer time" to please those Northeastern yuppie tools. No. He brought Michigan to them.
It's why I can't get away from Seger. The ultimate transplant who can't leave MI behind, like more than a few of us.
I have nothing to say about the Wings that I haven't already said today. Husk and Gus in. Fredo and William Tell out. Quite The ClusterFuch is in, of course.
It's a Live Blog, bitches. As it should be.

I think Husker Du has played well for his first game.
Quiveringpuddle has a way of making everyone look good by comparison.

I think we need to watch this 2 minute video during every power play for the rest of the season. Very therapeutic.

That video needs to be retitled Bob Ross: Doing Shit You’ll Never Be Able To Do. Ever.

Curious that Mick does his Call Sam commercial with a bar as the backdrop.

It’s all bullshit; Bob Ross was a *#$%@& wizard.

Bob Ross, better than thorazine
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 01/22/13 at 10:29 PM ET
The cold, cruel hand of Bob Ross is about the only thing that might fix the wing’s PP. His dark arts are sorely needed.

I hear he can be summoned by playing some Liberace and saying “Happy little clouds” 10 times while looking in the mirror…
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/22/13 at 10:32 PM ET
3 PPs. 1 PP shot.
Wasn’t Tom Renney supposed to be some kind of power play savant, like Powder or Rain Man?

Okay, Brunner is officially snakebit.

1. Don’t step on the puck.
2. Don’t put your stick in other people’s skates. Or your own.
3. Take the puck to the net.
4. Put the puck in the net. The other team’s net, that is.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome: wphoulihan@gmail.com
Agreed. I gotta say also, Smith looks like he belongs in the pros.
And know I go knock on wood….
